    * INTRODUCTION
     Oil spills are a major ecological and environmental problem.
    An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the
    environment.
    Often the terms refers to marine oil spills, where oil spill is released into
    the ocean or coastal waters.
    The oil may be variety of materials, including crude oil, refined petroleum
    products, or oil mixture in waste.
    Unfortunately spills can take months or even years to clean up.
    In this project, we will re-model an existing oil spill cleaning machine to
    increase its efficiency and rate of recovered.
    METHODS OF REMOVING OIL
     SPILLS
    Mechanical recovery

     Adhesion skimmers

     Oil booms

     Burning In-situ

     Dispensers

     Skimmers

     Hot water

     Manual labour

     Bioremediation

    We use skimmers for removing oil spill


    PRINCIPL
    E
    The oil spill scavenger works according to the principle of adhesion.

     The oil sticks to the smooth inner and outer surfaces of the two
    tubes.

     The water stay back.

     The constantly rotating tubes pull the oil, which is like a film of the
    water surface.

     The oil transports to two strip-off lips per tube fastened inside and
    outside of the surface.

     With the collecting channels, the stripped off oil is lead to a pre
    collection tank.
    OPERATIO
    N
     The experiment was carried out by rotating the handle provided in the shaft.

     As the disc rotates in the anti-clockwise direction, the oil from the water-oil
     mixture rise up in the grooves.

     The oil sticks the aluminium disc because of viscosity.

     Low viscous oils can also be recovered by proper selection of the dimension of
     the groove.

     As the groove thickness increases, it is suited for collecting high viscous oil.

     As the groove thickness reduces, it is suitable for collecting low viscous oil.

     Here we used a thicker one to high viscous oil from the mixture.
    MATERIALS USED

     Glass tank with a partition

     Oil of high viscosity

     Aluminium drum grooved

     Shaft

     Scrapper (plastic sheet)

    ADVANTAGES
     It removes only oil , no water

     The efficiency is 95%.

     Easy maintenance and decontamination.

     Multi model to meet inshore and off shore requirements.

     Helps to facilitate a quick clean up process

     High recovery rates

     Light weight for easy transportation


    DISADVANTAGE

    S
    Good only in calm environmental condition.

     Trash seperation by hand.

     They do not deal with oil mixed with dispersants.


    CONCLUSIO
    N
     The use of a grooved pattern can increase the recovery efficiency .
    The grooved pattern proved to be efficient even on diesel, which
    is challenging product to recover due to its low viscosity.

     The recovery efficiency of a grooved surface may be additionally


    improved by tailoring the groove dimensions to specific oil
    properties for particular region and climate.

     Using more shallow and narrow groves for light diesel and fuel
    oil and deeper and more open grooves for heavier oils may lead
    to higher recovery efficiency.
